International Orders:
We will ship orders to Canada, the United Kingdom (Great Britain) and Australia. However, before your order can be processed, we may require a Customer Credit Card Information form from you if you are paying by credit card. Once this form has been filled out by the credit card owner, we will gladly process all your orders until the expiration date on your card. At that time, we will continue to process your orders when we have received an updated form. The Customer Credit Card Information form is easy to complete and can be found online at www.mackite.com/credit.htm .
Print out the form and fill in each line neatly and legibly. The information must be provided by the person whose name appears on the credit card. Once the form is completed and signed, you may fax or mail it to us at the address at the top of the form. Once we have received your form, we will be able to process orders from you. We also accept payment in the form of an International Money Order made out in U.S. funds.
When you place an order, we will e-mail you with an exact shipping cost for that order. If you agree to the charge, your order will be shipped. Your shipping address must match the billing address you provided on your Credit Card Information form. Most orders arrive in one to three weeks, but we cannot be responsible for lost or delayed shipments. Please note that we reserve the right to decline any order for any reason.
A Few Words About Credit Card Orders...
We try to get out orders as quickly as possible, but we also have a commitment to our customers' security. We keep an eye out for certain "red flags" that indicate credit card misuse. Sometimes this is actual fraud which we will prosecute, but more commonly it is an exuberant child who has "borrowed" his parent's card. In order to keep you safe and to promote family harmony, we will notify you if we see any irregularities before processing an order which has one or more "red flags". We apologize for any delay or inconvenience that this might cause (and hey, it isn't a lot of fun for us, either), but we want our customers to feel comfortable when ordering online.
Exactly when will my order ship?
Orders are normally processed on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. If you place your order by 9:00 a.m. EST on those days, there's a good chance it'll ship that same day. If, for some reason, your item is not in stock, we will attempt to contact you and will ship your item as soon as it is back in stock.
What does "Special Order Item" mean?
Usually, manufacturers require us to buy in quantity, which means we only have space to stock their most popular items. In an effort to make some more unique pieces available to our customers, we've found a manufacturer who's willing to ship us items individually. When you place your order, we contact the manufacturer and they send us your item(s) right away- not whenever we make our next "big order". Your Special Order normally arrives at your door in 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 weeks. Need it faster? We actually do stock a few of the items listed as "Special Order". If you're not too picky about color, or a similar item is also ok, give us a call or drop us an e-mail with what you're looking for and we'll let you know what's currently in stock. This can cut delivery time to 2-7 days.
Where can I get a "Coupon Code"?
From time to time we may offer a coupon code so that items may be purchased with a discount from our online store. These codes will be announced in our free monthly e-mail newsletter. If you'd like to subscribe, you can sign up at the bottom of our store's main page or many other places throughout our website. Please note that there might not always be a "coupon code" available.
Every week, we will discount one or more items in our online store. Although this selection will usually change every Monday, we may occasionally extend a sale for an extra week. Sale prices are valid while our in-stock supply lasts (sorry, no rainchecks) and cannot be applied to prior purchases.
Returns:
Before returning an item, please contact us to let us know what you would like to return and the reason why. We'll reply with any solutions to your situation, which will normally include the option to return your item.
We have one of the most liberal yo-yo return policies in the industry. If your yo-yo has broken due to mis-use or accident, simply return it to us with a check for 1/2 the amount you paid plus $5.00 shipping, and we'll replace it with another one (or the closest equivalent if yours is no longer available). No questions - no hassles. In all cases we guarantee our yo-yos for 30 days from delivery to be defect free. Simply return the yo-yo to us to have a replacement sent. However - be sure to check out our Yo-Yo Tips section before you return your yo-yo. Many common problems are easily fixed with a small adjustment, and this area will show you how to do that.
